Mades Hotel - Cabo Bojador: Mades Hotel -Cabo Bojador

This was a very strange stay. We stoped over in the middle of the night so we just needed a bed. The next day we found out that what the guy said about hot water wasnt true, actually no water at all!
after a small discussion with the young guy in the hotel he said, "Its Morocco", i said, well my friend this didnt happen to me very often in morocco, its not normal here, if Mauritania ok, i would not be surprised, but here come one...! he answered me quikly: Im from Mauritania, i said "its solved...now i kwon why this doesnt work, bye bye!"

Unique Qualities: no water at all, i hope it was just a small problem like the guy said.

its a cheap place though. i mean, i guess the water problem was just temporary and we had bad luck. but after driving for 2 days and 2500km non stop we really needed a shower.

Border closes from 6pm to 8:30am: Border closes from 6pm to 8:30am

If you're heading Mauritania you have to make sure the border is not about to close on the Moroccan/Western Sahara side.
If you come here you have to make sure you dont pass these times. the border in north morocco never closes but this one here has this special schedule. if you get here after these times you'll have to sleep in the 5 start hotel which will be or a tent (your tenet if you have one) or inside your car.

the border from the other side never closes also, in mauritania the border doesnt close.

Unique Qualities: when i was coming from mauritania to morocco (western sahara) for the first time i had to sleep on the mauritnian side cos the border here was closed. and it didnt make any sense of leaving the police protection area durgin night time in a very dangerous are where we could be killed.
